You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The rows (or columns) of A constitute an orthonormal set of vectors (i.e., any pair is orthogonal, or has scalar product 0; and each has magnitude 1.)
Therefore the inverse of A will just be its transpose A%5ET.
===> .
Feel free to verify that A%2AA%5ET+=+A%5ET%2AA+=+I%5B3%5D.
